Recent advances in diagnostic radiology are reviewed. Reference is also made to the question of keeping down the extent of exposure of the patient. Emphasis is placed on the need for continuous instruction of radiologists on account of the rapid updating of techniques and the state of the art.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011829	Radiation Dosage	The amount of radiation energy that is deposited in a unit mass of material, such as tissues of plants or animal. In RADIOTHERAPY, radiation dosage is expressed in gray units (Gy). In RADIOLOGIC HEALTH, the dosage is expressed by the product of absorbed dose (Gy) and quality factor (a function of linear energy transfer), and is called radiation dose equivalent in sievert units (Sv).
